Illumination

I feel out of place until I feel your frame

Against me, beside me, in my sight.

When we say goodbye the desperation swells like an ocean wave.

Like it crashes to the shore, it floods my heart.

You are the tallest tower

The purest ray of sunlight.

My bones would ache, my  mind eternally wander

If I reached for your hand, and you pulled it away.

I'd drown in lonely sorrow

Deteriorate in the blackness, in the absence of your light.

Although you are not the sun, which illuminates the world,

You are the light that fills me.

Exposing, for once,

My recent, profound understanding

of how it feels to wake up

and thank the heavens I will live another day.

A most sensual, romantic tale of
nature of the self.
Exquisite writing.
